Steve explained that while other apocalyptic movies focus on world leaders and heroic endeavors to save the planet, Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World focuses on everyday people trying to cope with their imminent doom.

“It’s about everybody else and how they handle it,” he said. “It begs the question, ‘What would you do?'”

Steve said that a lot of the characters in the movie go about their daily lives, even though the world is about to end.

“A lot of the characters continue to go to work because it gives them a sense of security and stability,” he said. “My character continues to sell insurance, which is crazy and ironic.”

Ellen: The Incredible Burt Wonderstone Review

Ellen mentioned that Steve has already been working on another movie called The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. Steve plays Burt, a jaded Las Vegas musician who tries to reunite with his former partner, Anton Lovecraft, played by Steve Buscemi, so that he can take on the street magician, Steve Gray, played by Jim Carrey.

Ellen said that she rode her bike to the set of the film to say hi to Steve but was surprised once she got there.

“I didn’t even recognize him!” she said.

She showed a picture of Steve in character as Burt, and it didn’t look like him at all. He had long blonde hair and he had shaved all of the hair off his face and chest.

For his upcoming film, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, Steve Carell had to shave his chest everyday. The big surprise was that he apparently liked it, and so did his wife.

Ellen: Steve Carell Charades

They played one round and all of the charades had to be Summer activities.

Ellen proved to be much more effective at pantomiming than Steve. Steve successfully guessed four of Ellen‘s pantomimes, but Ellen was only able to guess two of Steve‘s.

The funniest moment was definitely when Steve was trying to pantomime eating a popsicle. He didn’t mean to at first, but as he was trying to demonstrate sucking on a popsicle, it looked very much like he was performing fellatio. As soon as he realized what everyone was thinking, he seemed to get kind of bashful. Ellen wasn’t able to guess what Steve was pantomiming and teased him about it after the game.
